This week I attended the opening day of 29 Rooms NYC. This was my first time attending this event.

29 Roomsis a yearly initiative powered by Refinery 29 -An American digital and entertainment company that was established in 2005. 29 Rooms is a space that brings incredibly, wow-factor, creative ideas to life with interactive installations. 29 spectacular artists, creatives, and visionaries translate their thoughts and dreams into physical rooms.

Rooted in storytelling and self-expression I was in my element as I meandered from one installation to another. The mission statement directly what our mission statement is here at Collideascopes. We believe that the two core elements that make up a strong and captivating brand is Storytelling and Design. Opening day, I stepped into a realm of abundant thinking and imaginative concepts. Call- to- actions such as Challenging the Status Quo, Expanding our reality, and thinking outside the box aligns to our mission here at Collideascopes.
